Now that Apple's recent slew of hardware releases are behind us, we got some news on the software side last week. First, the company publicly announced that it was delaying the smarter, more personal version of Siri that'll be powered by Apple Intelligence. Then, rumors sprang up again that Apple was giving an extensive visual update to its software platforms, including iOS 19 and macOS 16 which are expected to be revealed at WWDC in June. The sources for this redesign rumor are solid. Jon Prosser dropped a video on his YouTube channel Front Page Tech back in January where he said that he had seen a redesigned Camera app for the next version of iOS that had a number of interface changes that made it feel more like a visionOS app. His thinking is that Apple wouldn't redesign a core app like Camera without bringing changes to some of the rest of the OS, as well.

The different weapon classes are the key to what makes Splatoon so fun. Each weapon has three qualities -- how it normally fires, a secondary grenade ability you can use after you absorb a certain amount of paint (it's indicated by a white line on the ink meter that appears once you enter squid form), and a special attack you can unleash after hitting the highest threshold of paint on the field, indicated by a meter in the top right corner. Experimenting with the different weapons is key, as they not only offer different playstyles for downing opponents, but different methodologies for filling the field with paint. The Paint Roller's lack of range, for example, is made up for by its ability to move and paint the battlefield simultaneously.
